Clinical Pilates: The Bridge between the Pilates System and Physical Therapy (pdf)
| Date: | Saturday, November 14th, 2009 |
| Description: |
The popularity of the Pilates Method has consistently grown to mass appeal over the past few decades. Though Pilates owes its name-recognition to the fitness world, the method’s roots are in rehabilitation and are commonly "prescribed" as part of a therapy program. Despite these beginnings, there is often an education gap between the "prescribers" of Pilates and the "instructors" of Pilates. This course will fill the gap by demystifying the Pilates Method for the physical therapist, physiatrist, and other physicians of musculoskeletal disorders. |
| Target Audience: | This course is designed for physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, exercise physiologists, and physiatrists. This course is appropriate for clinicians with limited Pilates exposure who wish to increase their knowledge of Pilates principles for their patient population. Please note that this is not a Pilates certification course. |
| Contact Hrs: | 9.6 contact hours |
| Space: | Limited to 16 participants |
| Location: | Integrative Care Center 635 Madison Avenue, 5th floor New York, NY 10021 |
| Course Co-Chairs: |
